Postdoc Programs Office

The University of Miami was established in 1925 and is highly recognized for its significant contributions to research. Counting more than 159,000 alumni in fields spanning from architecture to marine zoology, the University of Miami is proud to have produced some of the nation’s and world’s most successful researchers in academia and industry. The University of Miami is engaged in $360 million in research and sponsored programs a year with the majority housed at the Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine.

The dynamic and growing postdoctoral community of more than 220 fellows at UM is contributing to research success at all three campuses—the Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, and the Coral Gables campus. Our faculty and administration appreciate the vital role played by our postdoctoral fellows in our key research programs.

The Postdoctoral Programs Office (PPO) was established in 2006 to recognize and foster the success of our postdoctoral fellows. The PPO is committed to providing you with a supportive environment, resources, workshops and seminars, to enrich your training experience and facilitate personal growth and professional development for successful future careers. Our aim is to work with you to develop your postdoctoral training and to provide you with the tools and resources for your research, while highlighting opportunities to develop your communication and teaching skills for both the classroom and lab setting as well as learn about a variety of career opportunities anticipated in the future workforce.
